Distinctive signal
The distinguishing signal is a unique identification feature that is assigned to German seagoing ships when they are entered in the shipping register ( Section 16 (2) of the Ship Register Ordinance (SchRegO)), provided they are longer than 15 m or have a " telegraphic radio or radio system on board" ( Section 31 Paragraph 2 No. 2 of the Ordinance on the Implementation of the Ship Register Ordinance (SchRegDV)). On these ships, the distinguishing signal is also the call sign in the marine radio service .
Distinguishing signals are combinations of four letters that begin with DA to DR, or combinations of the letter Y, a number (2 to 9) and two letters. The latter group was assigned to the GDR and is no longer assigned. Thus the distinctive signals represent a subset of the Federal Republic of Germany by the International Telecommunication Union represents (International Telecommunication Union (ITU)) allocated radio call sign.
